Practice Listening: Multiple Choice, Single Answer ID: #43807 Short A budding actress

Instructions ›

Listen to the recording and answer the multiple-choice question by selecting the correct response. Only one response is correct.

Transcript:

Find out what your teen likes, then propose activities centered around that interest. A budding actress might want to see a play, while a sports enthusiast would prefer tickets to a game. If your teen likes your idea, let him or her plan out the details, like what play you will see. Teens need to feel that they have a voice in planning activities. Actually bonding during that activity might be a little more challenging. Turn off the parenting voice, but don't try too hard to be their friend — teens want to "hang" with their peers, not mom or dad. In fact, it might be a good idea to allow them to bring a friend. That way, teenagers enjoy their friends' company while also spending time with their parents.

* Listen to the recording and select the correct answer

Option 3: "Parents should act as a friend with their kids and help them row."

Explanation: This option accurately reflects the main idea of the passage. The text discusses how parents should engage with their teens by proposing activities based on their interests while also allowing them to take the lead in planning. This approach fosters a friendly relationship without overstepping parental boundaries.

Option 1: "Teens should pursue what parents guide them."

Explanation: This option suggests that teens should follow parental guidance without considering their own interests. However, the text emphasizes the importance of understanding what teens like and allowing them to have a voice in planning activities, which contradicts this option.

Option 2: "Teens should not be allowed bring a friend home."

Explanation: This option is incorrect as the text explicitly states that allowing teens to bring a friend can enhance their enjoyment of activities with their parents. It promotes the idea of balancing time with friends and family, which is contrary to this option.

Option 4: "Teenagers should enjoy time with friends rather than staying at home with their parents."

Explanation: While the text acknowledges that teens prefer to spend time with their peers, it does not suggest that they should avoid spending time with their parents altogether. Instead, it highlights the importance of balancing both aspects, making this option too narrow and not fully representative of the text's message.
